seminar reflection
The seminar on Tuesday the 22nd made little to no impact on my thinking about the issue. I personally thought very little about that seminar, I thought that the ideas shared were not very impacting . One of the only things i learned from that seminar is that there was an over whelming population of anti federalists in our group.
What is power |
Fundamental beliefs |
Power is an ideal achieved by money in today's society. Power is the strength that comes from working hard. Power is whatever you want it to be.
One example from our conversation that stood out to me was one that talked about power through the manipulation of the market. |
My political values sit on the upper right hand side of the political map. They are there because I believe that the government will become corrupt and try to take a way our liberties while the states will not do that. I also believe that people should have the most power over their lives because its the life that they were given, they should have the right to do what they want with it.

Ideas on what to do for our class projectI think that as a class we should attempt to make some college tuition free of charge through a bachelors degree. I believe that this topic is something us as a class can rally around to make the future brighter for the youth.

Interesting topics from Market and the polis discussionOne idea that really stuck out to me was when we were talking about self interest vs community interest. The idea that stuck out to me happened when we were talking about how humans are by nature communal beings, and one person talked about wolves and how only the alphas have pups, it gave an example of another species that aren't in the group for themselves. All of the other members of the pack receive nothing out of being part of the pack.

My personal political philosophy is one leaning toward the republican bias because of the upbringing I have had. It begins with limiting our government power and relying more on citizen vote. I think that we should rely solely one our government officials when we are in a time or crisis, then and only then will this be acceptable. My next opinion is that we should do away with the electoral college system for presidential elections and come to a verdict based only on popular vote.

The person that i choose to write about in this free write is Ben Franklin. I choose this person because he played a vital role in the American Revolution and he assisted in the making of a more perfect union. He not only did this through his actions in the war but also through his inventions and aid in the discovering of electricity.
